   Here are some quotes from "Faith and Action." The author was in charge   
   of education for the Hitler Youth:   
      
   You carry in your blood the holy inheritance of your fathers and   
   forefathers. You do not know those who have vanished in endless ranks   
   into the darkness of the past. But they all live in you and walk in   
   your blood upon the earth that consumed them in battle and toil and in   
   which their bodies have long decayed. Your blood is therefore   
   something holy. In it your parents gave you not only a body, but your   
   nature. To deny your blood is to deny yourself. No one can change it.   
   But each decides to grow the good that one has inherited and suppress   
   the bad. Each is also given will and courage. You do not have only the   
   right, but also the duty to pass your blood on to your children, for   
   you are a member of the chain of generations that reaches from the   
   past into eternity, and this link of the chain that you represent must   
   do its part so that the chain is never broken. But if your blood has   
   traits that will make your children unhappy and burdens to the state,   
   then you have the heroic duty to be the last. The blood is the carrier   
   of life. You carry in it the secret of creation itself. Your blood is   
   holy, for in it God's will lives.   
      
   Race means to be able to think in a certain way. He who has courage,   
   loyalty and honor, the mark of the German, has the race that should   
   rule in Germany, even if he does not have the physical characteristics   
   of the "Nordic" race. The unity of the noble and a noble body is the   
   goal to which we strive. But we despise those whose noble body carries   
   an ignoble soul. A variety of related European races have merged in   
   Germany. One trunk grew from these roots. Each race gave its best   
   strength. Each contributed to the German soul We Germans have a   
   fighting spirit, a look to the horizon, the "desire to do a thing for   
   its own sake" of the Nordic race. Another racial soul gave us our cozy   
   old cities and our depth. Yet another racial soul gave us mastery of   
   the magical realm of music. Yet another gave us our ability to   
   organize, and our silent obedience. We can not hold it against anyone   
   if he carries a variety of racial lines, for the German soul does as   
   well, and created out of it the immeasurable riches which it possesses   
   above all other nations. The greatness of our Reich grew out of this   
   soul. But the Nordic race must dominate in Germany and shape the soul   
   of each German. It must win out in the breast of each individual.   
   Today our ideal is not the artist or the citizen, but the hero. Our   
   highest treasure is the soul that we have been given. He who mixes his   
   blood with that of foreign inferior races ruins the blood and soul   
   that have been given to him to pass on in purity to his children. He   
   makes his children impure and miserable, and commits the greatest   
   crime that he as a National Socialist can commit. But he who follows   
   the laws of race fulfills the great commandment that only like should   
   be brought together with like, keeping apart those things like fire   
   and water which do not mix.   
      
   A people grows from god's will. Woe to him who wishes to destroy the   
   peoples and make people alike. God created the trees, the bushes, the   
   weeds and the grass not so that they could merge into one species, but   
   that each should exist in its own way. Just as a tree, a people grows   
   as a living whole from similar roots, but becoming one, the strongest   
   of its kind. All of the same blood belong to it. A people knows no   
   state boundaries. It is bound by the ties of blood that bind all the   
   sons of a single mother. The German people is a nation of a hundred   
   million. Each German belongs to it, no matter where he may live. A   
   people cannot be destroyed as long as its roots draw on the strength   
   of the earth. Summer and winter may come and go. But it always blooms   
   anew in indestructible life and perfects itself in the strength that   
   rises from its roots towards god's will. What does it mean when an   
   individual dies? It is as if the wind blows leaves from a tree. New   
   ones grow eternally every spring. The peoples are the greatest and   
   most noble creation of god on this earth. There is no institution in   
   the world, no party and no church, that has the right to make them the   
   same or to rob them of even the tiniest bit of their individuality.   
      
   Socialism means: "The common good before the individual good."   
   Socialism means: "Think not of yourself, but of the whole, of the   
   people and the state."   
   Socialism means: "Not the same for everyone, but to each his own."   
   These sentences make clear what we call "German socialism." No one is   
   a socialist who does not live according to them. A new order grows   
   from these sentences. The sentence "To each his own" has killed the   
   "mass," the slogan of Marxism, and replaced it with the "community."   
   Every community grows around a leader. He is the center of its order,   
   which forms around him. A number of these leaders form a larger   
   community, and stand around their leader as a living order. It all   
   grows from below-the number growing ever smaller-like a pyramid, and   
   finds its epitome in the Führer of the Reich. All are bound by the   
   community. Each community is a living order. The whole, the great   
   living order, is the people's community. It binds inextricably person   
   to person, leader to leader. It does not give the same to everyone,   
   but to each his own. It creates the socialist people in a socialist   
   state. Each has his task in the community, given to him according to   
   his gifts. Never do all have the same task, rather each his own. His   
   task gives him a place in the community, If he fulfills it completely,   
   he wins the esteem of the others. He is happy, even if his task is not   
   large in the overall scheme of things. Such communities grow in the   
   field, in assault troops, in artillery battalions, in submarines, in   
   S.A. units. Strong, bound forever together, wordlessly understanding   
   each other, together until the end, sworn to a common goal. Strength   
   grows from such communities, and from them grows the state. We want   
   community in Germany so that we can stand unshaken in the face of   
   whatever may come. The mass is conquered by the community. It gives to   
   each his own, to each his goal and his task, and everyone together one   
   goal: the people's community in the new state..   
      
   Courage is the most beautiful and noble trait a man can have. He who   
   has no courage is not a man. The "storming courage" of an attack is   
   wonderful. The feeling of having risked all in service of a high ideal   
   frees one and lets him charge forward with joy. Courage bears a man as   
   if he had wings, and fills his heart. The attack becomes the high   
   point of life. When everything depends on one card, when one can lose
